Thanks to the folks at Bike World News , we have a better idea who’s going to be racing Wednesday night at the Gateway Cross Cup cyclocross races at Heman Park in University City, Mo.
The big names expected in the 9 p.m. finale, the UCI Men’s race, include:
Current U.S. national champion and Olympian Todd Wells (California Giant Berry/Specialized)
Former national champion Tim Johnson (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com)
Former national champion Jonathan Page (Planet Bike/Blue Bicycles)
Former national champion Ryan Trebon (Felt Bicycles)
Swiss national champion Christian Heule
Former Belgian U23 champion Ben Berden
Former Hungarian champion Zoltan Tisza
The women’s UCI race, which begins at 7:50 p.m., includes:
Former U.S. National Road Racing champion Meredith Miller (California Giant Berry/Specialized)
U.S. Collegiate National Champion Teal Stetson-Lee (California Giant Berry/Specialized)
Former Belgian national champion Joyce Vanderbeken
St. Louis professional triathlete Sunny Gilbert (Michelob Ultra/Big Shark Racing)
Racing begins at 1:30 p.m. In addition to the cyclocross races, there’s the kids races at 4 p.m. and a 5K run at 4:40 p.m.
To give you a taste of nighttime cyclecross, here’s a photo from CrossVegas, which is working with St. Louis organizers to put on the Gateway Cross Cup:
